Where has it gone?

So school starts tomorrow and like everyone else I'm wondering where the heck the summer went. Call me crazy but I can already feel fall in the air and I've felt like that for a week or two. I can't believe it's over and we didn't do one fun thing all summer. Okay, we went to California on vacation but technically that was during school so it wasn't really a summer vacation. I mean we didn't go to the zoo, or Lagoon or anything. How Lame. Two weekends ago I made Greg take us for a drive up the canyon. We packed a picnic lunch and went up Mill Hollow and my kids whined the whole drive up because they were afraid we were lost and wanted to turn around and go home. Once we were there they had a ball and loved every minute of it but I am completely disgusted that our kids have not experienced much outside of Kamas. It seems like most of my summers were spent either camping or horse riding with my dad. I mean I'm sure I'm only remembering the good times but my poor kids have only been camping once or twice and that was a couple years ago. I guess they are just growing so fast that I'm just afraid the only memories of their childhood that they will have are going to be of vegging out in front of the T.V.
I hope we can get out some more before the weather gets too cold because they really had fun.



Over the weekend the girls had a little vacation in Salem at my parents house. They thought it was their vacation but really it was for me and Greg. For our anniversary we didn't get to go on a trip this year like we have in the past but since the girls were gone for a couple nights we went to dinner and a movie which was nice and we never do that anymore. Then on Saturday we borrowed a 6-wheeler and Greg took me up to Murdock Basin and showed me where they have been working for the Provo River water users. I didn't think of it at the time but I should have taken pictures of what they are actually working on and the road to get there. From what I understand the first couple trips down were pretty hairy. They were driving trucks and trailers and semis down a road that's is basically meant for rock crawlers and ATVs. It was such a pretty drive and a gorgeous day and we got some good pictures. We even saw a bull moose.
